The food was good but not great. I’ve had better Thai food.Started with the chicken pad Thai and we had the Elephant combo.The spring rolls were soggy and somehow cold. The chicken in the combo was a curry type chicken and it had good flavor but the chicken in my pad Thai was a rubbery bland piece of chicken. Not good at all.The noodles were good and the flavor was good. Washed it all down with the Thai tea which was really good.

Good service and short wait despite having a lot of customers. They have a large amount of seating in the area too. We got a shrimp pad thai and it was good. A little pricey and the taste for good and we were very satisfy with it.They have a spring roll and some drink options. Also have a sushi too.

The best Thai food on Kauai. Best taste, fresh ingredients, and feels good after eating. Super sweet Thai ladies running the cart so it’s authentic Thai food. Don’t let the reviews about slow service fool you, the service was quick when there’s not a long line. Like anything, when there’s a line, you have to wait 😄It’s in a red food truck next to Holy Grail Donuts behind the Hanalei liquor store and tropical taco.

So we enjoyed the food first and foremost. We waited a long time for it in the heat which is why I removed a star. It was not a normal meal hour so a 25 minute wait seems excessive. The ladies were nice. They rounded my total down which was very nice. Also they were open on a Federal holiday so it was great to have food someplace. Food was spicy by default. I like that but my wife did not. We would likely come back.

Tried the pad thai and it was meh. Greasy and weirdly sweet, but a solid portion of chicken.We didn't have to wait and it was super fast, but there was no one else.Gluten free options are clearly marked.

Tiny food truck with good food. Been here since last summer. I brought my family here every year to enjoy the good food and sceneries. Thank you Thai Elephant ❤️

Food- 4.5 Service- 3.5 Vibe- 4 Price- 3.5This place is not the elephant in the room and is the talk of the Thai. I have had Pad Thai everywhere I go, but never like this. Not the most generous portions but good for a food truck. Poke was very good but really small. Great place with lots of food trucks to enjoy.

BY FAR, the BESTTTT pad Thai I’ve ever had. In Hawaii, we tried many different places and had to return to this one specifically, as it was truly the best. I am vegan and got the tofu pad Thai and it was truly impeccable!! Even my mom, who is not vegan at all and doesn’t like tofu, was in shock with how good it was. If you have to choose one food spot to try, try this one. TRUST ME :) 11/10 HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend ⭐️Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan availableDietary restrictions: Perfect vegan optionsParking: Always availableKid-friendliness: Bunch of kids here

Stopped in at this food truck park on whim and ordered the Pad See Ew with tofu - it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had while on vacation here!! It was so flavorful and the vegetables, noodles, and tofu were cooked perfectly!! The lime and a side of Thai chili pepper took it to the next level. We complimented the owners as we were leaving and they were so kind! I would highly recommend grabbing a meal from here, you won’t regret it :)

The food at Thai Elephant is amazing! I've never had such good Thai food before. The Pad Thai is my favorite, but the Pad See Eew and Thai fried rice are also really good. The Curry is also very tasty. The veggie rolls are a great appetizer, and the Thai iced tea and coffee are the perfect way to wash down the meal.

I absolutely love the food at Thai Elephant! Every dish I've tried has been absolutely delicious, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for some great Thai food at a great price.

This food was so awesome, my dad and I stopped by for a quick bite to eat. Wasn’t crowded so food took around 10 mins. We got the Pad Thai with chicken, best meal I’ve had in a few years. If I lived here I’d eat it every week. Bravo.

Little place with some other food trucks, so it’s a bit of a hidden gem. This is fantastic thai food and very authentic. This is absolutely the most authentic Thai food on Kauai and probably all of Hawaii.The best thing to get there is the papaya salad. It is by FAR the best papaya salad I’ve had outside of Thailand, and I try it a lot!Go here, you won’t be disappointed.

The Thai Elephant is a hidden gem! The flavors at Thai Elephant are on point. Every dish we tried was delicious, especially the Tom Yum soup. Definitely worth a trying!

We loved this food truck. We had Pad Thai with Shrimp , the Coconut Chicken Soup and Spring Rolls. We didnt know the Coconut Chicken was a soup. But it was amazing! Such good flavors. We also loved the Pad Thai and Spring Rolls. If you are in Hanalei, you have to eat here!!

Came to this food truck with no one in line and ordered the number 1 combo which included the pad Thai, kaeng gai, and 2 spring rolls, a Thai iced tea, and iced coffee and sat down. We saw at least 7-10 parties order after us and get their orders. We waited an hour while it was raining so my bf finally got up and asked what was taking so long. They completely forgot our order and the lady didn’t know what was on their own menu. We finally got the drinks after an hour and when they gave us the food, it only had pad Thai. They completely forgot the kaeng gai and the spring rolls. Not worth the $40 I spent here

If I could put zero stars I would. I ordered HALF order or pad see ew and half fried rice and was $45. Then got pad Thai and price went up to $64 total for literally 2 meals. The food was not good and small portions. Your reply literally shows you scammed me.

If I could give 0 stars I would. They did not tell us the order would take an hour, when we got it, the veggies were not cooked at all, the food had no flavor. And we both got sick from it as well!

Thai Elephant Hanalei is superb❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Authentic Thai food and cook!All their food servings are fresh, organic, and taste just right! Their pasta is al dente, which I really like, and service is quick.I have friends that love to eat curry. Since they’ve tasted Thai Elephant’s curry years ago, their curry has always been from Thai Elephant! I know, coz I order and deliver it to them over the years❣️Well... they like all the food, but Padthai and Curry are the best in the world!!!
